This paper, founded on a selective review of the literature, as well as an exploratory field research, aims to analyze the artificial intelligence development in education and its eventual possibilities of replaces the teacher in order to minimize costs and avoiding the complexities concerned to social interaction. One of its contemporary trends is to change the role of human workers in a large part of the occupational structure and change the profile of numerous occupations. A comparative and international research, based on questionnaires applied to higher education students just after the pandemic, revealed that they face difficulties with remote education, such as loneliness and depressive feelings. When they returned to on campus education they were satisfied and in part relieved, in interaction with the faculty and the colleagues. Nevertheless, attempts to replace teachers keep on going, including teachers. The future of artificial intelligence change is nebulous. The productivist paradigm changes persons in objects for its greater profitability. Nevertheless, it will difficult to reduce the human presence in education as a result of its own nature. Teachers in risk are those oriented toward monologue, programmed contents transmission and deals with persons as objects. Those who are more susceptible to make a difference keep dialogue and relate to students as active subjects in a dynamic preparation for the future.
